In 2002, Temple University’s Fox School of Business agreed to endow an award for the best paper at the AIB Annual Meetings. Finalists for this award have been identified by their peers through a rigorous review process as making the strongest scholarly submission to that year’s conference. A winner is then selected from among these finalists by the Best Paper Award Committee.
Selection Process
All papers accepted for presentation at the AIB Annual Meeting through a double-blind review process are eligible for the award. The finalists are nominated by the program chair, track chairs and reviewers. The Best Paper Award Committee then reviews the finalist papers and chooses the winning paper. The winning paper receives a plaque and a scholarship award at the awards ceremony of the AIB annual meeting.
